As part of the campaign, McDonald Engineers, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of copper hot water cylinders, has produced a report which highlights the superior performance offered by copper cylinders.

McDonald Engineers were delighted to welcome a team from one of the UK’s leading plumbers merchants, who were treated to a full factory tour and product development presentation.

The factory tours are not only a great way to develop product knowledge, from the latest Heat Pump Cylinder technology to Calorifiers and Thermal Stores, they also allow customers the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the production process and the quality standards that are put in place.

McDonald Engineers is providing its customers with even greater value by giving all attendees of its BPEC Certified Unvented Training Courses £75 worth of vouchers which can be redeemed against future purchases of its POWERflow and ECOflow cylinders.

McDonald Engineers have launched a new brochure to support the changing market demands of market leading thermal store, THERMflow. Thermal stores are becoming an increasingly popular solution for hot water cylinders, not only because of its ability to deliver mains pressure hot water with limited maintenance implications, but also its ability to handle multi-fuel and renewable energy installations.

McDonald Engineers has secured a number of contracts for its range of high temperature, primary feed and expansion tanks. These are used with open vented systems and thermal stores, especially when combined with additional fuel sources such as wood burning stoves.

McDonald Engineers has assisted one local authority to improve their renewable energy capabilities by supplying one of their solar hot water cylinders to the training facility.

Proving that McDonald Engineers provide their clients with more than just high quality hot water systems, the copper cylinder manufacturer is already looking forward to enjoying a happy new year with several major specification successes.
